Fort Campbell, KY – Do you love to be outside? If the answer is yes, then you should join Outdoor Recreation Adventure Programs for the Rough & Tough Hiking Tour.

The Rough & Tough Hiking Tour is a series of hikes designed to get adventurous souls out into some of the most wild and beautiful country in the area.

Outdoor Recreation staff will be leading these long strenuous hikes over rough terrain into remote areas where you will see old-growth trees, waterfalls, caves, cliffs, vistas, and wilderness.

The hikes are open to ages 12 and above, the cost is $30.00 per hike (includes transportation), and you must preregister by 4:00pm on the Thursday prior to the hike. Departure times and return times will vary.

There are six hikes planned, three in the spring and three in the fall. Participants who complete all six hikes will receive a “Hiking Tour” t-shirt (additional shirts will be available for purchase).
